FUEL DUMP

[DemonFox]

-1 not historically accurate and would be a waste of molding and coding because you could just be smart and bring appropriate amount of fuel.

:airplane:I THINK ITS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THEIR TO BE A FUEL DUMP IN THE GAME EXAMPLE WHEN YOUR A 100% FUEL AND YOU INCOUNTER SOME FIGHTERS YOUR NOT GONNA NEED ALL THAT FUEL PLUS HAVING ALOT OF WHEIGHT CAN CAUSE PERFORMANCE ISSUES IT MAKE THE GAME BETTER THAM WHAT IT ALREADY IS.

you know what drop tanks are, right?

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess he normally plays console games.

I seem to recall somebody posting that one of the four engined WWII bombers could do it.

Not possible in the B-24 or B-17.  Sheesh, you could barely transfer fuel let alone dump it.

I usually up with 75% or 100% fuel.  I think that relying on a light fuel load for just a hair better turn rate is a bad habit.  I can't remember the last time I ran out of gas, and I do fairly well in the MA.  I say, learn to fight with some gas in the tank.

To the OP:

As you progress as a cartoon pilot, you will notice that you wish you had more ord or targets than fuel.

But molding completes the look.  Most people can't stand those annoying little gaps where two flat surfaces meet.

I thought dumping sausage on pizza killed the pizza?

i almost always up with 100% with drops unless im upping on an attacked base then i take 75%

None of this (fuel dump request) is a game problem, it's all rooted in pilot behavior.

Don't take DTs unless you're already full. Don't take less fuel than you need. If you keep RTBing, next time TAKE MORE!

If you're heavy nothing FORCES you to try turn fighting. Stay fast and vertical, or leave the fight and re-enter it in a better position later.

Depends on what I am flying.

Spitfire Mk XIV?  100% plus drop tank.
Mosquito?  50%.
